Question:
The questioner, Umm Muram, asks: Why is Surat al-Ikhlas considered equivalent to one-third of the Qur'an?
Answer:
Because it is pure in its focus on tawhid (the oneness of Allah), specifically the oneness of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). The Qur'an consists of three types: news, rulings, and tawhid. This surah is pure tawhid, so it became equivalent to one-third of the Qur'an. Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) has a treatise or book titled "What the Qur'an Indicates Regarding Surat al-Ikhlas Being Equivalent to One-Third of the Qur'an." Yes.
